We have added some new links on our writing resources page to Sam Winston’s Delicate Sightproject. These explore creativity and darkness and are written by Raymond Antrobus, Bernardine Evaristo, Don Paterson and Max Porter. They are suitable for writers aged 14+. Also new is a link to some carefully structured First Story workshop activities led by poet Dean Atta and other First Story writers in residence.
We hope that they will inspire young poets everywhere.
